Verizon pinpoints 38-foottower for Village Green
■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD
According to a published legal notice in the June 11 issue of the farragutpress, U. S. Cellular is planning to construct a 38-foot cell tower in Vil-lage Green near the intersection of E. Fox Den and Weathervane Drive.
No construction timetable has been established, and it is believed the tower will help address cover-age issues in the area.
In accordance with Federal Communications Commission regulations, the project currently is in what is referred to as the National Environment Policy Act phase, and is gathering public comments pertaining to “potential effects on cultural or his-toric properties.”
Environmental services firm GSS Inc. is conduct-ing the study, and Chris Lenihan, assistant project manager with GSS Inc., is overseeing the survey, which will be compiling comments during the 30-day window that began the day the ad was published.
As designed, the tower would be constructed in the right-of-way in the front yard of Village Green resident Jerry Guthrie, who lives along Weathervane Drive. He was very vocal at several Board of Mayor and Aldermen and Municipal Planning Commission meetings earlier this year, opposing 5G implementa-tion in the Town of Farragut.
Guthrie’s primary concerns have regarded poten-tial health risks.
Even though U.S. Cellular’s proposed tower is likely to support current 4G technology, and not 5G, Guthrie is upset about the proposal.
“Our congressmen, Federal and State, have passed laws allowing this to happen!,” he said in an e-mailed Letter to the Editor, which is published in its entirety on Opinion page 4A. “They didn’t take into consideration the health or well being of the citizens of this country or the environment.
“Also, a cell tower in my yard can cause my prop-erty value to decline 21 percent.”

FHS celebrates success, causes

Profoundly affected by an in-ternational health crisis and na-tional social justice unrest, both within a three-month period to end their high school experience, Farragut High School’s Class of 2020 will hold a special place in school history.
Punctuating their whirlwind
ride was the scene during FHS Commencement exercises: it was held outdoors on the school’s Bill Clabo Field — not inside Thompson-Boling Arena more than a month earlier, as originally scheduled, due to the pandemic — Friday evening, June 19.
Festivities were kicked off by protest, as roughly 35 of more than 450 graduates on hand (of 476 total) took a knee or re-
mained seated during the playing of the National Anthem to protest racial injustice (see related story starting on this page).
But celebrating graduate and teacher success, while throwing in a few moments to make you laugh and a few others to make you reflect, ruled the evening.
“We didn’t get to have the typi-cal senior experience. … But we still made it here,” Jessey Yang,
co-salutatorian, said while ad-dressing the gathering. “We are now at a key part of history, grad-uating amidst a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter move-ment.
“And it is at times like these that we must stick together and look towards the future,” Yang added.
This Farragut High School Class ‘now at a key part of history’
■ ALAN SLOAN [email protected]
It was a simple message of protest, as graduate Jessey Yang remained seated during the Na-tional Anthem as Farragut High School’s Class of 2020 Com-mencement got under way.
Yet her right hand was held over her heart.
Among roughly 35 FHS gradu-ates choosing to either sit or kneel in protest of racial injus-tice in the United States, “It’s re-ally important to, like, show our solidarity … with the Black Lives Matter movement going on right now,” said Yang, co-salutatorian among 476 FHS graduates, after the commencement Saturday evening, June 19, at the school’s Bill Clabo Field.
“Even though we can’t exactly relate with their problems,” not being African-American, “I feel like we need to show our sup-port.
“But at the same time I also wanted show my respect for my country, and for all the people who lost their lives fighting for this country,” this future Uni-

Though virtual government meetings in Farragut have been a bit of a sore spot for residents wishing to speak out, most notably about the ongoing issues pertaining to 5G towers in Farragut, Town officials have yet to resume in-person meetings.
Mayor Ron Williams said last week the decision to open up public meetings “are up to the discre-tion of the municipalities. Both Knoxville and Knox County have much larger facilities than we do, and are able to social dis-tance, and I just don’t feel com-fortable with that right now.
“We do have plans to start back in July, and will be meet-ing at the Community Center,” he added, remarking on the con-tinuous cleaning and disinfec-tion currently ongoing there.
Because of the size of the Boardroom at Town Hall, and also because that room is carpeted and features upholstered chairs, Williams noted the potential for some difficulty in keeping those items clean, along with not being able to properly maintain social distancing, and that the Board Room already operates with limited capacity due to fire marshal codes.
“I don’t know if we will be meeting in the Board Room (at Town Hall) for the rest of the year,” he added.
Virtual sore spotThough residents have been encouraged to sub-
mit comments in writing, which are then read into the minutes, several residents want to pursue the
issues of 5G only during in-person meetings. Last week, 25 pages of citizens comments relating
to different items on the Town’s June 18 Municipal Planning Commission’s agenda were submitted for consideration, many in reference to agenda item No. 9, “discussion of the development of an aesthetic plan for new vertical utility infrastructure within public rights of ways.”
Community Development Director Mark Shipley took the Commission through a 48--page powerpoint to get discussion started on crafting a plan and ultimately an ordinance that would govern the aesthetics of proposed 4G and 5G cell towers.
(The powerpoint can be found on the Town of Farragut website as well as on the far-ragutpress website.)
He was very clear in explain-ing the powerpoint “is not an aesthetic plan. It is a power point of discussion items to be considered” as the Town moves forward.
Several residents requested via e-mails and phone calls to postpone it until live meetings could resume, but Williams, Vice Mayor Louise Povlin and others in the community agreed it would remain.
Povlin said the item was “not only for our dis-cussion purposes only, but also will only concern aesthetics, and, furthermore, public input will be gathered in at least three more public meetings,” she wrote in an email.
During last week’s meeting, she also said she had “the full support of the Sweet Briar neighborhood’s

With key points at stake, Dog Daze IV returns to Village Green SC Aug. 14-16
While some residents want to resume in-person Town meetings,
especially about 5G matters, leaders point to July
Meetings to resume soon?
More important than ever in terms of giving top Dock Dog jumpers from around the nation a venue to score valuable points toward reach-ing the World Championships, DOG DAZE IV @ Village Green Shop-ping Center, presented by TDS Telecom, once again returns to Far-ragut “as a three-day festival of fun, food, shopping and competition,” stated a press release from Stephen Krempasky, executive director of Shop Farragut/Farragut Business Alliance.
The Alliance is teaming up with Town of Farragut, Smoky Mountain Dock Dogs and Ricki’s Pet Depot to bring this nationally sanctioned re-gional canine aquatics competition, Dock Dogs International, to Town Friday Aug. 14, through Sunday, Aug. 16.
While more than 150 competitors expected from a talented national field of dogs, festivities will begin in Village Green Shopping Center parking lot at 4 p.m., Aug. 14, with local dogs taking a “Pooch Plunge.” Area dog owners will have the opportunity to bring their pet to try a dock dive free of charge. K9 Center of East Tennessee has underwrit-ten Pooch Plunge, which runs through 7 p.m.
Competitions run from 9 a.m. to past 5 p.m., Aug. 15, with final rounds from 9 a.m. through Big Air Finals at 5 p.m., Aug. 16.
While no applications or communications with Town of Farragut staff or officials has occurred regarding the proposed cell tow-er, Vice Mayor Louise Povlin, once apprised of the situation, began conducting her own research and reached out to Guthrie and the Village Green Homeowners Associa-
tion. “I spoke to representatives of GSS for this particular project,” she wrote. “He in-dicated that he thinks the NEPA phase will take about 60 days.
“Please know the Town of Farragut has not received an application of a small cell support structure for this proposed loca-tion, but I felt that it was necessary to bring this notice to your attention.”
She went on to encourage the Board to
review both state and federal law regard-ing the matter.
Her entire letter can be found on this week’s farragutpress website.
“To be clear, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, the Town of Farragut planning commissioners and Town staff are incred-ibly frustrated that both state and federal laws completely undermine our ability to regulate small cell deployment to protect
our residential areas,” she stated. “I believe our best avenue to find relief is
to advocate for an amendment to the statelaw,” Povlin added.
“Our Board is working closely with (state) Rep. Jason Zachary (R-District 14)and (state) Sen. (Richard) Briggs (R-Dis-trict 7) to advocate for an amendment.”

Last week I introduced you to what I refer
to as the “downward spiral” of having a fall. In
short, I highlighted how one fall can lead to
much more serious issues, ultimately including
things like depression and decreased enjoyment
in life. And while this may
have been a rough way to
start the conversation about
balance and fall prevention,
I also promised to brighten
things up by sharing some
useful information with you
about how you can improve
your balance and stay active.
If you or a loved one has
experienced a fall within
the last 6-12 months, you
probably already know how life-altering it can
be. Besides any physical injury you may have
experienced, the real damage tends to occur a
little more slowly over the following weeks and
months. Once you fall, your whole world chang-
es. Where you once felt comfortable and confi -
dent, you now start to doubt your abilities.
As you start to question your balance, your ac-
tivity level gradually declines, and a few things
start to happen. First, you become less mobile,
and by default your strength and balance start to
decline. Second, you don’t get out as much as you
used to. Things like going for walks with a friend
or spouse, or just going out and socializing with
friends start to become too much to handle.
If you or a loved one are caught in this down-
ward spiral and are looking to take control of
your balance and regain your active lifestyle, I
have good news for you: there’s a lot that can be
done! Let’s fi rst take a look at the 3 balance sys-
tems that control your balance and help keep you
stable.
The “3 Balance Systems”
1. Vision: constantly sends input to your brain
telling you where your body is in relation to your
surroundings.
2. Sensation/Spatial Awareness: this second
balance system has a few features. First, the pres-
sure along the bottoms of your feet gives your
brain input when you shift your weight. Second,
you have special receptors in your joints that tell
your brain where you are in relationship to space.
3. Inner Ear: your inner ear, aka your “vestib-
ular system”, sends input to your brain regarding
the movement of your head in relationship to
gravity. The sensation of spinning is also referred
to as “vertigo”.
Read what Betty had to say regarding having
trouble with her balance because of damage to
one of her balance systems:
“I love working in my fl ower beds but a few
weeks ago I fell in my yard when I stepped funny.
I was lucky I landed in the grass because I have
osteoporosis and doubt my hip would have sur-
vived if I had landed on the sidewalk. I live by
myself and was scared of falling again outside-
and wondered if my gardening days were over.
Luckily I was able to get back my confi dence
with the proper therapy. So, I am quite pleased
now and have the best looking rose bushes on
my street!”
Damage to any of your 3 Balance Systems can
have a negative impact on your ability to keep
your body stable. However, people who fall and
then become less active typically have issues with
weakness of these systems, which is very treatable.
Since Betty took care of her balance issues ear-
ly on, she is now able to work out in her yard to
her heart’s content.
If you can relate to Betty’s story and are ready
to get back to a life without the fear of falling,
then I encourage you to schedule yourself a
FREE no obligation telephone call with one of
our specialist physical therapists. We will take the
time to listen to your story and recommend the
best course of action for preventing another fall.
You can request your free phone consult HERE:
www.simplypt.com/free-telephone-consultation/
or by calling or texting us at (865) 351-0615.
We currently have 6 of the phone consults re-
maining.
If you are still not convinced or simply not
ready for a phone call yet, then stay tuned for
more information about how to improve your
balance and prevent another fall in my article
next week.

I write in response to Bill Johns’s Letter to the Editor of June 18, which itself was a response to Carmen Hicks’s letter of June 11.
Mr. Johns says that Ms. Hicks wishes to send white Americans to re-education camps to be brain-washed into a certain way of thinking about race. He then criticizes the recent property destruction that has occurred during protests in many parts of the country. Ms. Hicks advocates none of these things anywhere in her letter, and Mr. Johns’s response amounts to a “straw man” fallacy, which consists of exaggerating and distorting what one’s interlocutor is saying in order to dismiss their viewpoint.
Instead, Ms. Hicks encourages readers to honestly engage with the historical trends that have shaped our present world. Though this history is clear, she is correct that many of its facets are not widely rec-ognized today.
After the end of slavery and Reconstruction in the South, some states instituted vagrancy laws that forced African Americans to accept employment un-der whatever conditions white landowners deemed acceptable, else they be arrested and imprisoned. Such laws helped re-institute slavery, in all but name, in large sections of the South. African Ameri-cans who tried to change their situation by voting were met with violent reprisal, which sometimes resulted in death.
Those who fled to the industrialized North to find work in factories found themselves subjected to em-ployment discrimination, achieving pay raises and promotions at rates far below their white counter-parts. At every turn, honest efforts to achieve social, political and economic advancement were met with intense and often violent opposition.
During the New Deal, the Federal Housing Admin-istration attempted to revitalize the nation’s ailing
construction industry by making mortgages more easily available to Americans. The FHA instituted a practice known as “redlining,” which deemed Afri-can American neighborhoods to be a higher credit risk than white neighborhoods, and therefore gave credit opportunities to white families not also made available to African American families. As white families accrued the benefits of homeownership, especially the accumulation of equity in a home, Af-rican Americans were left behind.
In addition, public schools are primarily funded by local property taxes. As white families enjoyed increased homeownership rates, tax revenues flowed to white schools. African American schools languished, perpetually underfunded by compari-son. Legal segregation definitively ensured that Af-rican American children would be kept out of white schools.
White children were then much more prepared to attend colleges and universities than African Ameri-can children. Inequality in the prospects for upward mobility skyrocketed as time passed. Disguised by the bureaucracy of opaque federal policies, this re-ality remained hidden from obvious public view. By 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, an employee in the U.S. Department of Labor and later a U.S. Senator from New York, was able to blame urban poverty on instability within African American families, not on the systematic and structured inequality of public investment that had occurred during the preceding decades. The book Ms. Hicks cites, “The Color of Law,” covers this topic in detail.
As Ms. Hicks notes, educating oneself on this his-tory is difficult and time-consuming. But doing so re-veals that we are living in a complicated world that
At the Dec. 19, 2019, Farragut Planning Commission meeting very little was known about 5G by Farragut Board members or citizens in attendance.
One theme that stood out was that no one wanted 5G in his yard.The issue changed for me Thursday June 11, when a U. S. Cellular
Public Notice printed in the farragutpress stated they intend to placea 38-foot small cell tower on the (right-of-way) of my property! Ourcongressmen, federal and state, have passed laws allowing this to hap-pen! They didn’t take into consideration the health or well-being ofthe citizens of this country or the environment!
Also, a cell tower in my yard can cause my property value to decline21 percent.
Our congressmen’s first responsibility should be to protect thehealth and safety of citizens, and they have FAILED!
The Farragut Mayor and Alderman should contact Gov. Bill Lee andrequest that he sign an Executive Order that halts 5G cell tower con-struction in the front yards of Tennessee residents until such technolo-gies have been proven safe, beyond a reasonable doubt, through inde-pendent research, and the public health and welfare can be assured.
If these intrusive and unwanted laws (of) 5G are allowed to stand,there will be unreasonable and long-lasting harm to the citizens of our community and the environment.
The 5G cell tower proposed to be installed in the ROW of my yardwill emit electromagnetic frequency radiation that studies show willharm my family, birds, animals, insects, bees and plants.
Beside losing value of my property, 21 percent, I will need to do re-search and spend money to find out how I can protect my family fromthis dangerous technology.
Right now my family and I enjoy sitting outside to enjoy hearing andseeing the birds, viewing plants in our yard and talking to our neigh-bors.
That will no longer be possible as we will need to protect ourselvesand stay inside to be away from the electromagnetic radiation trans-mitted by the 5G antennas.
May God help the citizens of Farragut from this terrible Tempest!

Elected officials ‘failed’ on ‘health, safety’
Answering criticism, from June 18, of June 11 Letter
A warning if lacking an aesthetic cell tower plan Regarding the request to postpone the discus-
sion on developing an aesthetic plan, I received two e-mails requesting this action be postponed and neither of those e-mails were from homeowners di-rectly impacted by the existing current proposals for the installation of 5G small cell towers in the rights-of-way in front of their homes.
Upon receipt of those emails, I reached out to the Sweet Briar HOA board members. Of the four neighborhoods targeted by Verizon, Sweet Briar is the only neighborhood that does not have existing utility poles and, if Verizon is inclined to apply for more 5G nodes, locations in Sweet Briar will more than likely be included in that application as fiber has already been laid in a portion of their neighbor-hood.
I expressed my concern to the Board that lacking an aesthetic plan, we are in the position of having to accept Verizon’s pole design. The aesthetic ap-pearance of the poles is one of the few aspects of 5G implementation that state law allows the local gov-ernments to regulate. I indicated to the HOA board
members that having started the process of develop-ing an aesthetic plan gives us some leverage to hold off Verizon’s ability to use their own pole design.
The HOA board members supported proceeding with the discussion on the development of the aes-thetic plan and to not delay. Considering that they have a direct interest in the outcome, their position was given the most weight.
The powerpoint on the discussion of the devel-opment of an aesthetic plan was posted online on Monday (June 22) to give residents and Planning Commissioners time to review it and prepare some questions or provide points for consideration as we begin the process of developing an aesthetic plan. T
o be clear, an aesthetic plan was NOT presented — a powerpoint on how we may move forward to develop an aesthetic plan was presented.
One final point: there’s a lot of discussion about the co-location of more than one antenna on a pole.
I believe this should be a decision for each neigh-

‘An asset’ on FMPC, Kile steps down; Bellamy to be appointed■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD
Farragut Municipal Planning Commissioner Rose Ann Kile served her final meeting Thursday, June 18, following a little more than four years of service.
Kile said the declining health of her husband, Jack Kile, was a decid-ing factor, along with a desire to “make room for a new participant.”
She was “most appreciative” of former Mayor Ralph McGill for ap-pointing her to FMPC on March 17, 2016, following her participation in the Introduction to Farragut course in 2015.
“... I enjoyed your perspective. With your attorney background, you brought a much-needed insight into the things that we struggle with,” Vice Mayor Louise Povlin said during the meeting.
Kile’s extensive background includes a law degree, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in statistics, employment with TVA and working as an attorney specializing in preparing wills, tax returns, contracts, busi-ness incorporation documents and bankruptcy petitions within her personal practice.
“I want to thank her for her service, she has definitely been an asset for us,” Farragut Mayor Ron Williams said during the meeting. “I have really appreciated her, and thank her, and hope everything goes good for her in the future.”
“Thank you Mayor Williams for the opportunity to have served un-der you,” she said. “I want to thank my fellow Commissioners for your friendship and the relationships we’ve had during my term.”
“You brought a great perspective to the Planning Commission, one that we hadn’t had before,” FMPC Chairman Rita Holladay said.
“... She has thoroughly read my documents, which I appreciate be-cause she made them a lot better.,” Community Development director Mark Shipley said. “I appreciate especially how meticulously she read through the (revised) sign ordinance,” which FMPC passed later in the meeting. It now goes to Board of Mayor and Aldermen for consid-eration in July.
Williams said he is appointing local attorney Michael Bellamy to replace Kile. “It is my fervent hope that my replacement will be as interested as I have been in furthering good decisions for Farragut,” Kile added. Rose Ann Kile

“I believe with this powerpoint and this discussion we are having tonight we now have our stake in the ground, and can take our time to get this right.”
Addressing 5G Addressing 5G, “There are a lot
of angry folks in Farragut,” Povlin said. “We received a lot of angry, and in some cases, very disre-spectful e-mails. I get it — the Town of Farragut has been ren-dered impotent to stop this as-sault on our neighborhoods by a
state law that completely removes local control over most aspects of implementation of 5G.
“I did not pass this law, yet I am continuously assaulted for its re-sults. I am angry too,” she added.
“In essence; The Tennessee General Assembly does not care what we think at the local level regarding the implementation of 5G small cell technology.”
The general synopsis is as fol-lows: the state law governing the deployment of potential support structures, and small cell, forbids a city from dictating the place-ment of a PSS, forbids a city from limiting the distance between a PSS; forbids us from requiring colocation, such as on an existing
utility pole, further, a city may not dictate or alter the design from a provider’s network, or limit the number of different carriers in the community.
“I am very frustrated with the utter disrespect people seem to want to show through their e-mails,” Povlin said. “I did not put this in place, (but) I am stuck try-ing to deal with something that is assaulting people I represent, and I’m angry about it and frustrated that there is a group of people who are enjoying whipping people up unnecessarily, telling untruth, and misleading people.
“It it is not right. This is hard enough, and emotional enough as it is,” she added.

Medical practice changes focus to ‘Wellness’■ TAMMY CHEEK
MD Weightloss & Wellness Cen-ter, located in the Farragut Medi-cal Building at 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road Suite 102, has re-branded and shifted the focus of its practice.
Its owners, Dr. Dennis R. King and wife, Mary J. King, RN and family nurse practitioner, re-
turned to family practice and changed the name to MD Well-ness Center.
“We dropped the ‘Weightloss,’” Mary said of the sign and business name during a recent Farragut West Knox Chamber of Com-merce-hosted mini re-opening ribbon cutting.
Both Dennis and Mary have been in the medical field for more than 25 years. Dennis was a fam-
ily physician before the couple opened what is now MD Wellness Center in November 2019.
However, “We had so many re-quests to do primary care — and that’s what we’ve done all these years anyway — that we decided to re-focus on primary care,” Den-nis said, but added they would continue assisting patients with weightloss, seeing “obesity is an epidemic in this country.”
The center also offers men’s and women’s programs and pro-vides lab testing.
The coronavirus pandemic also served as a catalyst in their re-fo-cus since Tennessee Department of Health reached out to centers, such as theirs, asking them if they would be willing to administer a COVID-19 vaccine if one is ap-proved. The Kings agreed to serve as a vaccination center.
“We also got a contract to evalu-ate veterans and active militaryservice members for disability as-sessment,” Dennis said
“We’re broadening our ap-proach to primary care,” he add-ed. “I think it will be more usefulto do primary care.”

Farragut businessman Mike Baker made it a true “Thank-ful Thursday,” June 11, for area first responders, as he picked up the lunch and breakfast tabs for frontline workers who dined at Sami’s Cafe in Franklin Square.
He made the announcement in the days prior on Facebook, asking “any police officer, EMT, paramedic, ER nurse or doctor, firefighter or any other first re-sponder” to dine in or carry out meals that day at the restaurant and “just let the owner know you saw (my) post.
“It’s just a small way of saying ‘Thank you.’”
Sami’s owner Sam Natour esti-mated about 20 first responders
took Baker up on his generous offer by noon, while 24 dined throughout the day.
“We had a lot of police come in early for breakfast,” he said. “A lot of them are our regular custom-ers, as are the firefighters from the fire station across the street.
“Mike is a good customer of mine,” he added. “I really appre-ciated him doing this, and I want-ed to make sure everyone knows it was him.”
Baker, who owns Mike Baker Insurance Consulting, settled up with Natour early last week.
He said he had an office in Franklin Square from 2005 to 2011, and started frequenting Sami’s Café during that period.
“I not only wanted to thank the first responders, but I wanted to thank and help out Sam, too,”
Baker said. “He’s a good friend ofmine. His restaurant is normallypacked, but with the COVID-19restrictions, he is only able toseat and serve so many customersright now.
“He came to me and said hewould like to try to do somethingfor first responders, and I readilyagreed,” Baker added. “I am tiredof hearing people bad-mouthing the police. They are out there, dayin and day out, and are people weoftentimes take for granted.
“They deserve our appreciationand to be thanked because they don’t get enough credit for whatthey do.”
Natour said, typically, most of-ficers have their meals paid for athis establishments.

ers can shop merchants’ items that have been hands-selected, Worthington said. “(Customers) can actually shop with (the plat-form).”
The main website, Southern-MarketShops.com/, also is getting revamped.
“There will be an online shop-ping experience with all of our merchants, each having their own, individual portal through the website,” she said. “You’ll be able to hit ‘Shop’ and go into the person’s shop.”
This site is different from Shopify in that the merchants will individually run it, Worthing-ton explained.
Along with events throughout the year, “We’ve also added other social media events, such as live sales on Facebook and Insta-gram,” she said. “Right now we have two a week.”
The live sales are for those who do not want to come in and shop but can shop online, Worthington explained.
Additionally, she said South-ern Markets is going to do a new featured merchant video series called Meet the Merchants “so you can learn the personal side of each of our merchants, what
inspired them to get started, how long they’ve been selling, where they’ve been selling, what they are making or buying.
“We will have it on the web-site, and we will have that on a YouTube channel,” Worthington added. “We’re gearing up for that right now.”
From the beginningShe and her mother, the late
Francis Sexton who died in 2017, started the marketplace together in 1996, and Worthington took over operation of the marketplace in 2015.
“It’s been fun,” she said about running the business. “It allows us us to have a variety of mer-chants.
“We want to keep a high-end selection of merchandise,” she added. Among the food and items are “homemade” pimiento cheese and handmade candles.
“My daughter, Callie Worthing-ton, is now taking over with me,” Worthington said. “She’s actually running a salon, Roots, here in (Southern Market).”
Southern Market, with close to 10,000 square feet, features booths by local merchants and ar-tisans, where customers can find anything for their homes — and even apparel for themselves.
“We have accumulated approxi-mately 200 of (the vendors) here,”
Worthington said. “We have 40 main (booth)
shops (inside the marketplace),which we have subdivided someof them,” she added. “There are50 local Etsy artists in one of our double shops.
“Some of the (artists) have ex-panded into shops themselves, and we have artists throughoutwho are not represented by Etsy.
Touting variety, “We’ve alwaysbeen focused on home, gift, fash-ion and art, so the artisan sectionis only a part of what we do, but it’s an important part, especiallywith the post-COVID situation wefind ourselves in,” Worthington said. “I’m sure there will be aneven stronger bent toward ‘Madein America’ and supporting local businesses and local crafters.
“There’s a lot of diversity —something for everyone in here,” she added about the productsavailable at Southern Market.

“Every time police officers come and eat with me, they never pay regardless because my customers always pay for their meals,” he said last week, noting 17 meals
were covered Wednesday and Thursday by other diners.
“Regardless, it was great what Mike did,” Natour added. “He is a really great guy and always likes to help out.
“I really appreciate everything he has done.”

HARDIN VALLEY — While it’s never been Jessie Stephens’ goal to make history, she will now. She’s also gotten a little busier.
Stephens, girls soccer head coach at Hardin Valley Academy for the last two seasons, will re-place Brad Delano as the school’s boys head coach while continuing to lead the Lady Hawks.
HVA made things official Thurs-day, June 19, when it announced Stephens would replace Delano, who recently resigned. He was in the midst of his second season when the COVID-19 pandemic brought a premature end to the 2019-20 school year and the spring sports season.
While Stephens is one of sever-al coaches in Tennessee to coach the boys team and girls team at the same school, she is the first woman to be a head coach of a varsity boys sport in the Knoxville area.
“When Brad stepped down, my
(administration) talked about (her being the boys coach) and one of my club coaches for FC Alliance told me that I could do this.
“I know that I can do this, but it’s nice to hear somebody else say that I can do it,” she added.
Stephens is no stranger to the boys game. She is a former All-state forward, graduate and as-sistant girls coach at Far-ragut High School.
When Ray Dover be-came FHS’s boys coach, he tapped Stephens to be his fresh-man coach. She later coached the Admirals’ junior varsity boys squad.
She also served in the same ca-pacities for Delano at HVA.
“I really enjoyed my time coaching the boys (when) coach-ing with Brad,” she said.
The challenges Stephens faces in taking over as head coach of the Hawks aren’t much different than the hurdles she faced with the Lady Hawks.
She’ll be HVA’s fourth boys coach in five years, and will strive to bring some continuity and stability to a program that went 5-10-6 last season while being rav-aged with injuries.
Continuity, or lack thereof, has taken its toll, and that’s the first thing Stephens feels she has to change for the boys. She’s al-ready started the process for the Lady Hawks, who won the District 4-AAA Tournament in 2019.
“The one thing that this school has needed for a long time in both soccer programs is consistency, and I think I can provide that consistency,” Stephens said. “We have some talent and we have a really good group (of boys).”
She is the only known female coach in East Tennessee to be a boys head coach, but Stephens said she wasn’t sure that was the case.

Coming back to her alma mater to pass out meals to Farragut High School families during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hardin Valley Academy girls soccer head coach Jessie Stephens will add duties as new HVA Hawks boys soccer boss.
Stephens
“I haven’t heard of one, but don’t quote me on that one be-cause I don’t really know,” she said. “But if I’m the first one in Knox County, then I’m probably the first one in the state.
“(Former FHS soccer head coach) Dennis (Lindsay) said he hasn’t heard of one, and he’s been in soccer since 1987.”
Since Mike McLean resigned as both the boys and girls coach following the spring of 2015, Mark
Patterson, Nick Bradford andDelano have coached HVA’s boys. Patterson, Bradford and Stephenshave coached the girls.
McLean guided the boys to the 2011 Class AAA state champion-ship, then led them back to the state tournament in 2015 before departing for Atlanta.
He also took the Lady Hawks to the state tourney in 2015. The HVA girls returned to Murfrees-boro the following year.
Getting in ‘Moore’ hikingto beat COVID-19 blues ■ STAFF REPORTS
Farragut couple Jerome and Cynthia Moore used the COVID-19 lockdown as an opportunity to explore some of the local hiking trails with their new chocolate Lab-rador puppy, Deacon.
“We hiked between 5 and 7 miles each weekend starting in the middle of March through the end of May,” Jerome said. “We found 12 amazing trails within 30 minutes of our home in Farragut. We choose the lo-cal trails because the Smokies were closed due to the shutdown — and of course, they don’t allow dogs in the back country, so we could not have done those anyway and tak-en our puppy along.'
The family started “with Seven Island State Park and moved the second weekend to the East Lake Shore Trail, where we met a fellow hiker that gave us information on the All Trails App,” Jerome said.
“We then used the All Trails App to locate other hikes of similar length within 30 miles of Farragut, and we were amazed at what we found. The All Trails App let us not only find trails in our area, but then record our hike and combine the recording with pic-
tures we were taking,” he added. “And then it also tracked us by GPS, so
we knew exactly where we were at all times and how many miles we had hiked. We were able to find hikes around some of the most awesome lake views in the east, as we hiked around Tellico Lake, French Broad River, Tennessee River, Fort Loudoun Lake, Norris Lake and Melton Hill Lake.”
Meanwhile, “Our puppy Deacon (10 weeks at the time) learned to swim on our first hike, so we had to keep close to the wa-ter for him to practice,” Jerome said.
“We saw some great fauna and flora from beautiful wild flowers to the majestic House Mountain views, and we received God’s blessing of fresh air, great exercise and amazing scenery,” he added.
Jerome said he was able to continue his mission to lose 40 pounds by summer — he made it by May 30.
“This year we are celebrating our 30-year wedding anniversary, so it was so nice to re-kindle our love for hiking and also strength-en our relationship on a very special year,” he said.
Their hikes also included Haw Ridge (Oak Ridge), Loyston Loop Trail (Norris).and Hall Bend Trail (Lenoir City).

Despite the loss of this spring’s high school lacrosse season due to the coronavirus pandem-ic, Tennessee Scholastic Lacrosse Association placed three Webb School of Knoxville players on its 2020 All-State team.
Meanwhile, one of those three has added to the program’s history.
Senior midfielder Luc Nadaud, junior long stick midfielder Joseph Reeves and junior at-tackman Sam Beall earned TSLA All-State hon-
ors, as voted on by league coaches.Nadaud becomes the first Spartans player
in the history of Webb’s lacrosse program to be named All-State four years in a row.
In addition, he earned this distinction play-ing three different positions: in 2017, short stick defensive midfielder; in 2018 and 2019, defenseman, before switching to midfielder as a senior.
“In my 17 years as a TSLA coach, I know of no other Tennessee lacrosse player to win All-State honors at three different positions,” Spar-tans lacrosse head coach Rico Silvera said. Nadaud Reeves Beall

‘Amazing’■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD
Madelyn “Maddie” Knudsen never thought when she left last summer for a nearly year-long Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club exchange to Germany that she would come home to a whole new world.
The now rising senior at Far-ragut High School had high hopes for the trip, which she still de-scribed as “amazing — it was even better than I had imagined,” even while acknowledging, “Sadly my exchange was impacted a lot by corona(virus).”
Knudsen left last August for what was to have been 11 months abroad, coming to the Rotary Ex-change program with a German language background learned from Rosetta Stone courses, along with a family history of extensive European travel. Her father, Pa-trik Knudsen, is a native of Swe-den, where his parents still live.
She stayed in Neumunster, Germany, and lived with two host families while there, attending school and participating in a vari-
ety of social and leisure activities, including paddle boarding, bike-riding and sailing.
Knudsen also was able to visit with her grandparents and ex-tended family members in Swe-den over the Christmas holidays.
She sent pictures and letters to family members, friends and Rotary Exchange officials as she sped through the year, which was impacted by the pandemic mid-way through her year.
“I remember first hearing about it around the beginning of Febru-ary,” she said. “I didn’t think too much about it because I lived in the northern part of Germany, and there was only one case in the southern part in Bavaria.”
However, a planned trip by Pa-trik, her mother, Diane Knudsen, and younger brother, Liam, was cancelled by the pandemic.
“Then, a few weeks later around the end of February, I heard about a case being in Ham-burg just an hour away from me. I started to get a bit more con-cerned then because now it was

Farragut churches slowly begin re-opening
■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]
While some Farragut churches are now hold-ing live gatherings, others are slowing looking at reopening plans.
Meanwhile, plans are being made for at least two Town churches to conduct Vacation Bible School.
First Baptist Concord, 11704 Kingston Pike, which opened doors to its congregation Sunday, May 31, with in-person services at 9 and 11 a.m., has moved its VBS while offering a new setting.
Concord Quest, which will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Aug. 3-5, is taking it to the community, said Jason Jennings, FBC pastor of Children’s Ministry.
“Concord Quest will be hosted by our church members in their neighborhoods,” he explained in an e-mail. “Kids that attend will be engaging in
dynamic worship, creative Bible lessons and fun games and activities.”
More information is available at concordquest.com.
Concord United Methodist Church, 11020 RoaneDrive, is looking at a tentative Sunday, July 12, re-worship service opening date.
The Rev. Larry Trotter, senior pastor, sent out ane-mail last week to congregants, noting the HolstonAnnual Conference, which oversees United Method-ist Churches within its district, has approved thechurch’s reopening plan.
The e-mail stated initially that two 45-minute in-person services would take place July 12: contempo-rary at 8:45 a.m. and traditional services at 10 a.m. The church will continue to offer an online-only con-

much closer than it was a few weeks before. No big actions were made until almost the third week of March,” she said. “On March 13, the state announced that they were going to close the schools two weeks early, and that our three-week long spring break was now five weeks.
“Initially, the break was great because I got to stay home and do whatever I wanted, but then the stores and such started to close,” Knudsen added. “Germany never went on an official lockdown, but most people, myself included, de-cided to stay home anyway.
“We were supposed to go back to school on April 20, but when that day came, Germany decided it still wasn’t safe enough and gave us two more weeks. After those two weeks only the stu-dents doing testing went back. For the final 2 1/2 months I didn’t go to school and I didn’t go out in public very often.”
Knudsen did return home a month earlier than she originally planned.
“My original date was going to be July 1, but after my end-of-the-year trip with Rotary was cancelled, my family decided to push the date up a bit,” she said. “I would have loved to stay until my original date, but after all of the stuff that had been happen-ing with corona my exchange wasn’t the same.
“That definitely wasn’t how I wanted my exchange to end, but I know there wasn’t anything I could do,” Knudsen added. “I just tried to still have fun and make the best of it.”
Her mother did her best to at least make her homecoming memorable, and had several sur-prises planned when Knudsen returned to Farragut Thursday, May 28.

port, but when I walked through the revolving doors I saw around 15 people there with signs and balloons, all welcoming me home,” she said.
“I just wanted to go up and hug everyone, but we kept our dis-tance and had on our masks be-cause of corona. After visiting for a little, we picked up my bags and then headed home. I was planning
on just going straight to bed, but when we pulled up, I saw that my mom had surprised me again with a socially-distanced pizza party! She invited a few of my friends over and we chatted and ate pizza for a few hours.”
Knudsen also had to quaran-tine for two weeks following her return. She has continued keep-ing her Rotary sponsors and oth-
ers informed about her trip and plans to share her experiences in person “now that meetings have resumed,” she said.
”I am glad to be back, but I also miss Germany and the people there,” Knudsen added. “I have now seen so many things and met so many people that I could have never even imagined I’d see or meet. I find it so cool that I can
now say I have a friend on every continent (except Antarctica). It went by so incredibly fast though.I feel like the first months of myexchange were just yesterday, and I can’t believe I’m already back.”
Summing it up, “I am so glad I decided to go and so grateful toRotary and everyone that was in-volved in making it possible,” shesaid.

temporary service at 11:15 a.m.“It should be noted that we
could decide to postpone opening based on our comfort level with the number of COVID-19 cases in our area, or the Holston Con-ference could make a decision to postpone church openings in Knox County based on COVID-19 cases,” Trotter added.
Meanwhile, CUMC is going vir-tual with its VBS.
“We’ll be doing the Rocky Railway Vacation Bible School,” which is train-themed and done through Group Publishing, said Heather Hayes, CUMC director of Children’s Ministry.
“So we’ll be online the week of July 13 through (July 17),” she
added. “Kids, each day, will click in and be able to join in, watch the opening and closing shows, the Bible stories, crafts, science time.
“They can follow along each day and add to it.”
Before that, however, staff is preparing packets for the young-sters.
“Inside the packets, for the children to come pick up July 8, 9 or 10, they will have the art ac-tivities, science activities and a few other things to go along with Vacation Bible School that week,” Hayes said.
“Each day they’ll have a bag inside the packet that will be labeled, and it will have all the things they need for their les-sons,” the Children’s Ministry di-rector added.
Also on Wednesday, July 8, staff will do a drive-through parade for packet pickup, Hayes said. “Peo-ple from our church are going to be lined up to wave at the kids and greet them.
Still, “We’ll be observing social distancing,” she added. “We’re doing a popsicle giveaway (and) we’re doing what we call Pelt the Pastor — (children are) going to throw water balloons from their car at different pastors that are brave enough to stand in front of the target.”
The VBS also is open to chil-dren who are not members of CUMC, Hayes noted.
“We are limited to 300 (chil-dren) because that’s as many sup-plies as we can have,” Hayes said.
Families are asked to register online at concordumc.com/events
“You have to be registered to get the packet,” she added.
Other churches servicesFaith Lutheran Church, 225
Jamestowne Blvd., held its first in-person worship service Sunday morning, June 14, since it stopped holding services in March.
“Everyone is just excited to see one another,” said the Rev. Bob Stelter, Faith Lutheran pastor.
At the same time, “We are also still doing online services,” he added.
“We picked up a lot of viewers … from all over. And, we invested in a camera system. (COVID-19) has forced us to be creative.”
In considering its re-opening, he said, “We have a group of lead-ership (members) who decided it’s time to go.”
Saint John Neumann Catholic
Church, 633 St. John Way, startedpublic services at the end May. Alittle more than 100 parishioners gathered for the 10 a.m. Mass ser-vice Sunday, June 14.

“I wanted to show support for both. … Some people think you have to be one way or another. I think we can do both.”
A’koiyea Johnson, a former FHS student/athlete (offensive lineman on the Admirals varsity football team) who is headed to Union College in Danville, Ken-tucky, was among those African-American graduates choosing to take a knee during the Anthem.
“I just wanted to show that I could take a stand because of everything that’s going on in the world,” he said after receiving his
diploma. “It’s honestly like hor-rible to watch.
“This was a way to show whatside I’m on. Show my voice to ev-erybody and let them see whatI’m fighting for,” Johnson added. “I’m just fighting to end racism,and any way I can do it — andthat’s how I want to do it.
“I feel like that is a great way todo it — either by taking a knee orholding your fist in the air.”
It was unknown how many other graduates may have raisedtheir fists in the air, even as they stood, to protest.
“Me, as a black person, I’m al-ways fighting for (justice),” John-son said. “And I know there’s a couple of my classmates who areblack … and they’re all fightingfor it at the same time.”
Achievements Laicee Hatfield, curriculum
principal, said the Class of 2020 “has learned to persevere in chal-lenging circumstances. … The Class of 2020 is truly exceptional: there are 13 National Merit Final-ists, 13 National Merit Semifinals and two students distinguished for the National Hispanic Recog-nition Program,” she added.
Valedictorian Alisha Soni (above a 4.70 weighted grade-point average/to attend the University of Southern Califor-nia) and co-valedictorians Yang (above a 4.70 weighted GPA/to attend University of Pennsylva-nia) and Prajwal Jagadish (above a 4.70 weighted grade-point aver-age/to attend Duke University) were recognized with specific ac-colades announced by Hatfield.
Dr. John Bartlett, principal, recognized various other schol-arship recipients in addition to those graduates choosing to serve their country through a military career.

“She touches lives, as all of our teachers do, in ways no one knows,” Bartlett said. “I’ve watched this award-winner, this year, make an impact on many of you graduates.
“Some of your would not be here if it wasn’t for her mak-ing sure you got your homework done, that you were taking care of your business with each teach-er and you were doing your very best,” he added.
Three retiring teachers were recognized by Bartlett: David Moore, long-time driver’s educa-tion teacher and highly success-ful varsity softball and volleyball head coach; Wanda Lacy, award-winning math teacher; and Tracy Moore, school registrar and key sponsor of the national champi-onship- and state title-winning FHS dance team “who has worked hard behind the scenes.”
Speech highlightsDuring his address to a packed
stadium featuring a few hundred parents, graduate Logan Stock-ham singled out Bartlett, “Who has done an absolutely astound-ing job,” which was received with loud applause.
Having completed his first school year at FHS, Bartlett was credited with “refreshing not just the physical aspect of the school, but the moral aspect as well,” Stockham added. “Blank white walls were replaced with artful murals, and inspirational quotes are in no short supply.”
Stockham also credited fellow graduates Adam Fuller, Garrett Howe and Alexis Massingill for “doing an absolutely fantastic job” in rounding up participants and whipping up enthusiasm among the “Clabo Crazies,” the school’s highly vocal student sec-tion during football and basket-ball games.

Near perfect weather greeted more than 450 members of the Farragut High School Class of 2020 (from a total of 476) along with a packed house of parents and well-wishers in the stands of Bill Clabo Field for FHS Commencement Ex-ercises Friday evening, June 19.
While many accomplishments were celebrated, the unique challenges faced by these seniors — a worldwide pandemic shutting down the final two months of their academic, athletic and extra-curricular activities, followed by national unrest in search of racial justice — were acknowledged in words and actions. (See stories beginning on page 1A)
Along with first-year FHS principal Dr. John Bartlett, dignitaries on hand included Knox County Schools superintendent Robert Thomas.
